School officials said there are still power outages at two school campuses and at homes throughout the parish. Two schools are also being used for relief efforts.

"At this point, people are still trying to wrap their heads around what has happened. We would like to give people time to breathe without having to worry every day about whether they have to get their kids to school," George said.

District officials said no schools were damaged during Tuesday's tornado. While the National Weather Service confirmed the tornado in LaPlace, a survey team is still investigating its intensity.
